The world had long suffered from

on the plea of ~paternnl care for the

Our sires rejected all such pro

apply to intolerance as we'll as to
drunkenness. That the intcmpc-
rate use Of Intoxicating liquors is
an evil, few, ifany, would deny.
That is the root of many social
disorders is conceded, but then the
question arises, what is the apprO-
PIRATE remedy, and what the pres

II must he confessed, is the evil to
be remcdird. Then it clearly fol-

against the abuse rather than the

Of disorder and crime, why not
pronounce drunkenness itself to be

adequate penalties, If it be Ohiec-

A MOTION TO DISMISS.
The Manitoba Wants the Com

WASHINGTON, July AS. S.Burdett,
attorney for the st. Paul, Minneapolis
& Manitoba Railway company, appeared
before the interstate commerce commits
sion this morning and submitted two
motions. The first was, in substance,
to dismiss the complaints of Holbrook,
Derby and others, farmers of Dakota,
on the general ground that the acts
complained of antedate the passage of
the interstate law. The second motion
was to dismiss the complaints on the
ground that the sO-ealled testimony sub
mitted was taken without notice to de-
fendant, and without giving an oppor-
tunity to cross-eXamine the witness.
The commission, after brief consnita-
ton, stated to Mr.. Burdett that there
seemed to be no reason for his further
attendance, and that its decision would
be made matter of record. The COM
plainants were not present. This is the

An Oshkosh Sensation.

Special to the Globe.
OSHKOSH, Wis, July 14.-Something
of sensation was created here this
afternoon by the publication of some
facts in an alleged dispute between
Congressman Richard Guenther and the
publishers of the Times over a bill for
services rendered by the newspaper
during Mr.. Guenther's campaign against
a. X. Delaney In the Second congress
sional district last fall, and it appears
that the bill rendered by the Times at
first was not itemized, and was for flat
$1,000. Mr.. Guenther objected to the
bill as being exorbitant, and it was
cut down to S615, which figure the
Times publishers claim is the exact ex-
penditure in furnishing Mr.. Guenther
with extra papers, postage, express and
the setting up of various circulars and
other reading matter for circulation.
Mr.. Guenther now refuses to pay the
latter bill, and it is said the proprietors
of the newspaper say the bill must be
paid or it will be sued. 1t is further
said that Mr.. Guenther promised at one
time to pay the bill at S615, but has
since declined. Politicians say that the
refusal shows up Mr.. Guenther's we'll
known penuriousness, and will injure
him politically.

MARRIAGE OR PRISON.
A Rich Son and Rich Daughter
in Mutual Trouble.

PITTsBURG, July Il. julius Hart
man was committed to jail Tuesday on
a serious charge. The information was
made by d. P. Hendrick, lawyer of
Chicago, and charges Hartman with
being the father of child without the
fOrmality of marriage. The young lady
is resident of Chicago, and her par
entS are very wealthy. She is nineteen
years of age, and young Hartman is
only eighteen. The latter, during sew
eral visits to Chicago, became acquaint-
ed with the young lady, and their inti-
macy became too close. Hartman'S
father is dead, but his mother, who
lives in this city, is wealthy also, and
the young man was furnished with
abundance of funds and enabled to
move in the best society. The young
lady is an only daughter and has been
the pride of her parents. When they
learned the circumstances and obtained
from her the information that Hart
man was responsible, they at once EN-
ployed Mr.. Hendrick, one of the most
prominent lawyers in Chicago, and sent
him to PittSburg with the hope of get
ting justice for their daughter. After
his arrest and before his Incarceration,
Mr.. Hendrick explained to Hart
man IUdG III WdS HOt lllc
wish OF purpose of his
clients to punish him. All they wanted
was that he should marry the girl. 1t
was held out to him that as her parents
were wealthy there need be no objections
on his part to do it; that there was no
doubt that he was the father of the
child, and they only desired it to be
made known legally. The girls parents
would not only not ask him to live with
her if he did not want to, but they would
prefer that he didn't do so. If he would
agree to marry her they would bring
her Oh to Pittsburg at once, and after
the marriage ceremony was over he
could 90 his own way, and the girl
would go back home, and in two years
they would procure divorce for him.
Young Hartman was placed in a rather
peculiar position. He was willing
enough to marry the girl on such terms,
but he was utterly opposed to his mother
learning anything about the case. Be
ing only eighteen years of age, lie could
not procure a marriage license in Penn
sylvania without her consent. Mr.. Hen
drick then said, If he was willing, they
would 90 to New York state and have
the marriage ceremony quietly per-
formed there. In order to give Hart
man time to consider the matter he was
placed in jail, in default of very heavy
bail.

NJ. PASTEUR'S METHODS.
The HydrOphobIa Commission
Make q FIattering Report.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-THE Medi-
cal News in its issue of this week will
contain lengthy abstract of the report
presented to parliament last week by
the British commission appointed last
year to inquire into NJ. Pasteur's treat
ment of hydrophobia. From this alb
stract the following paragraphs are
taken: ''It may hence be deemed GER
tain that Nj. PaSteur has discovered a
method of protection from rabies COM
parable with that which vaccination af
fords against infection from small pOX.
1t would be difficult to Over-estimate
the importance of the discovery,
whether. for its practical utility or for
its application in general pathology. 1t
shows a new method of incubation, or
as NJ. PaSteur sometimes calls it, vac
cination, the like.of which it may become
possible to employ for the protection of
both men and domestic animals against
others of the most intense kinds of
virus. The duration is not yet deter
mined, but during the two years that
have passed since it was first
proved there have been no indications
of its being limited. The committee
think it, therefore, certain that the in
oculatiOnS practiced by Nj. PaSteur
have prevented the occurrence of hy-
drophObia i'll large proportion of those
who, if they had not been so inocu-
lated, would have died of that disease,
and his discovery shows that it may be-
come possible to arrest by innoculatiOn
even after infection, other diseases be-
sides hydrophobia. His researches have
also added very largely to the knowl-
edge of the pathology of hydrophobia,
and supplied sure means of determin-
ing if an animal which has died under
suspicion of rabies was really affected
with the disease or not" The Medical
News says, editorially: ''The report of
the British hydrophObia commission
constitutes the ablest defense of M.
PaSteur's method which has yet been
made, and it is cause for eongratula-
ton that men so competent to observe
facts and weigh evidence have been
able after full investigations to reach
unanimous conclusion as; to the pro-
phylactic value of the inOculations of
NJ, Pasteur."

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
A Great Love Feast at Lake
Bluff Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 14.-Last night, at the
Lake Bluff convocation, the Knights of
Labor had the platform, and their prin-
ciples were presented by Rev. DR.. Vii
lars. president of Mexican lodge,
Knights of Labor. He held that the or
ganization was mighty power for good,
elevating the wage-wOrker and securing
popular rights more rapidly and surely
than any other single force. He showed
the reasonableness of the Knights of
Labor platform, and declared that it
was steadily and Systematically mis-
represented 10y the press. Rev. Charles
FL. Zimmerman. who is also Knight of
Labor, explained that the Knights of
Labor stands for equal wages for woman
and equal rights as well, and recognizes
no creed. color, race or sex. Mrs. Eliza
beth Rodgers, of Chicago, eX-master
workman of District "a, was introduced
by Miss Willard as woman who had
presided for some months over 600
Knights of Labor meetings, who had
represented 10000 members of that or
der. comprising all local assemblies ~
and around the city. Mrs. Rodgers was
warmly welcomed by the cOnvOcation,
and for an hour answered their Ques-
tions. claiming that the Knights of La
Dor are opposed to strikes and boycotts,
the enemy of anarchists, the friend of
temperance and woman suffrage.

A Decrease of Crime.

DUBLIN, July 14.-Justice O'Brien, in
his address to the grand jury of the
county OF Kerry to-day, admitted that
there was decrease of crime in the
county. He said he could not, however,
congratulate the people on the fact,
the cause of it being the complete
subjugation OF the peaceable mem
berS of the cOmmunitJ to a
lawless organization which was now al
lowing the well disposed little repose
from violence. Notwithstanding this
there were sixty cases of mali
cious injury before the jury,
showing that a deplorable amount
of crime was still committed
with impunlty. The application for
protection had also increased. The
Social tyranny had extended to mercan-
tile dealings, legal demands being met
with threats of violence, resulting in
the complete suppression of the law.

WASECA ASSEMBLY.
Great Interest Being Taken in
the Work.

tnC w OIAs
Special to the Globe.
WAsECA, Minn., July 1.-THE unus-
ually large attendance at the devotional
meetings at the assembly may be taken
as evidence that the interest in the
work is still increasing. Several East
ern people were on the grounds yester-
day, who have been at the most popular
summer resorts in the East, and they
say that for natural scenery they will
not begin to compare with MaplewoOd
park, the assembly grounds. 0. c.
Gregg, the Farmers institute man, was
on the grounds to inform the
public that under the state
law an institute could not be
held where an admission fee was
charged, so it is probable that there will
not be any institute held here this
year. The fourth annual meeting of
the stockholders of the MaplewoOd Park
association was held and the following
officers elected: President, Rev. J. f.
Everett. of this city; secretary, Rev. ii.
C. Jennings, of Fairibault, Minn.; treas
urer, A. p. Jameson, of this city. The
following persons were chosen as direc
tors: E. A. Knowlton, S. B. Warner,
j. A. Pugh, J. Quirk, G. r. Buchanan.
n. Mccarthy and L. T. Nelson. A def
mite idea of the interest taken in
the exercises can not be formed without
visiting all the classes that are held on
the grounds. 1t may be said with safety
that no person who visits the assembly
grounds can fail to get as large an
amount of knowledge as his capacity
will admit. Clear Lake affords a most
splendid opportunity for sketching, es-
pecially at sunset, and many have al
ready taken advantage of it. Rev. X.
will probably remain until Saturday.
Rev. S. G. Smith, D. D., of st. Paul, is

THE MOORHEAD TRAGEDY.
Two Witnesses of the Affair Found
in Wisconsin.

LANCASTER, Wis, July 14.-Some
days ago it was reported that two citi-
zens of Rown county, Kentucky, were
visiting j. J.. Mckenzie, of this place,
and that they were refugees from Moor
head, having fled after the fight oc-
Cured in which the TOllivar boys were
killed. But the efforts of newspaper
correspondents to discover the where
abouts of the Kentuckians were in vain
until last night, when the Wisconsin
representative obtained information
which led him to take nocturnal ride
of fourteen miles on the back of pony
into the bluffs north of the city. In a
deserted old house. encOmpaSSed by
bewiIdering array of nature i'll the orig
inal, were found William Ramey, eX-
sheriff of Rowan county, Kentucky, and
his son Henry. Both men have living
wives, and when suddenly confronted

Log Drives Hung Up.

Special to the Globe.
EAU CLAIRE, July 1.-THE log drives
are all hung up, and there are no signs
that they will get out very soon. The
accumulation of sufficient water for
rise that will do any good is a slow and
tedious process under present conditions.
1t looks as though about 300,0O0,000 of
last winters log cut on the Chippewa
and its tributaries would be unavailable
unless there is an improvement in the
prospect soon. About $50, ,00O, 900 of logs
have passed Little Falls dam, and about
275, 600, 900 have been RATED from Beef
slough. The mills have thus far had
logs enough, and manufacturers expect
to pull through the season on what logs
they may get.
